André Leon Talley – $1 Million, New York

André Leon Talley is famous for his larger-than-life personality, so, when it comes to his home, we did not expect anything less than grand. Despite the dispute about the 11-room home in White Plains, it’s where the fashion personality lived from 2005 until his passing. He had a hand in decorating the abode, which is filled with artworks and baubles the fashion icon acquired from auctions.

Talley, the editor-at-large at ‘Vogue’ Magazine for 15 years is well-known for being the first African American male creative director hired by the publication. Aside from his work as a journalist, television fans best remember him as one of the judges on ‘America’s Next Top Model,’ who often exclaimed superlatives to describe the contestants.
